Gordana Crnković is a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of Washington. She earned her Ph.D. in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University in 1993.

Her notable publications include 'Imagined Dialogues: East European Literature in Conversation with American and English Literature' (Northwestern, 2000), which explores 'imagined dialogues' between literary works, and 'Post-Yugoslav Literature and Film: Fires, Foundations, Flourishes' (Bloomsbury, 2012, 2014), which examines the literary and cinematic landscape following the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Additionally, her book 'Literature and Film in East Europe's Forgotten “Second World”: Essays of Invitation' (Bloomsbury Academic, 2021) aims to enlarge the classroom experience by introducing a wider audience to the literary and cinematic treasures of East Europe's socialist era. She co-edits volumes on film and popular culture, and her teaching includes seminars on 20th-century favorites and East European literature.
